Safe Zone

We started the Safe Zone Initiative to identify, train, and support advocates of the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Intersex, Transgender and Questioning) community on TCC's campuses.

Taking Steps Together

Being an advocate for LGBTQ people at TCC requires having a support system, knowledge about the issues and a deep respect for diversity. With the Safe Zone initiative, TCC has become a place where we can have conversations, answer questions and provide resources for LGBTQ people and their allies.

TCC's Safe Zone Initiative works to:

Uphold TCC's responsibility to create a safe climate for all students

Help students to identify allies on campus

Make issues around sexual identity visible and positive

Provide resources and support for allies and advocates

Provide strong role models for mentoring and supporting LGBTQ community members

Create a stronger sense of community through greater understanding of LGBTQ culture

TCC Allies & Advocates

Sometimes you need more than understanding. Dozens of TCC staff have completed Safe Zone training, and have committed themselves to be your Allies & Advocates. Contact anyone on this list to talk about sexual and/or gender identity issues.
